  1. Price drop to £350 for the package - no offers, no what if's please. Let me be clear that the scope and 12G and anything else for that matter can be left with me if not wanted but the price remains £350.
  2. I'm thinking UK has possibly 'bagged' a mineral percentage too.

    Trump

    I've not read the entire thread but it works for me that trump wanted Europe to pay their full NATO subscriptions or he'd drop out in his last term. I'm thinking he's now calling that bluff.
  4. Hiya, welcome to the forum, yep its still here, whereabouts are you? I'm guessing someone from another forum probably sent you here? With you being a new member I'd like to see a photo (via Private message) of your FAC and SGC before we get more involved though, and certainly before a visit. Its Dave by the way lol.
  5. Or made it illegal for the RNLI to be at the beck and call of illegal immigrants while other (French) boats escorts are on the scene to 'rescue' them, probably funded by huge donations from the likes of George Soros and some activist charities. I read somewhere that the RNLI is enjoying record donations.
  6. Sound like a darn good idea, bet they'd get a safe job though.
  7. Most of what he says is what many of us think but won't even utter for fear of being cancelled, put on a watch or something similar. Its a shame he was bolshy enough to post up what he was banned from posting. The country has been dragged downhill for sure.
  8. I think 50 Meaningful posts is OTT - and as OCD as an airgunforum in fact. It has about 3 times less members than another air gun forum because of draconian rules, OCD mods and their sycophants. A lot of people have better things to do than think up 50 posts just to show they are genuine shooters. I'd say maybe 5 or 10 meaningful posts would suffice.
  9. I keep seeing so called free energy generators in my FB feeds - some reciprocating spring driven and some motor driven from the energy produced by an alternator. My mind tells me its horse twaddle - but could it be factual and its been kept from us?
  10. I've reached an age where its prudent to sell this now unused lovely regulated lightweight slim walnut stocked .22 BEN Taylor And Son (of TheoBEN fame before he retired) FAC FX Cyclone Carbine/WTC scope combo with sound moderator on ticket, a 3L 300 bar charge bottle with whip and fill adaptor in test till July 2029, a Combro chronograph with the full PC connecting software bits, a nearly full tin of pellets and 5 magazines, spare seals and a regulator service/adjust tool - Plus an old Italian Breda 12G O/U. All for a fantastic bargain at only £400. I shall require production of tickets with permission to acquire the rifle on collection - but will want to see photo's of FAC and SGC before arranging collection. The rifle has three regulated power settings up to 26ftlb, currently providing 40 regulated shots before it comes off the regulator (when the 5th full 8 pellet mag is emptied its had 40 shots so needs recharge, but will continue providing unregulated power curve shots) It can be set at higher ftlbs with a reduced amount of regulated shots with the regulator tool. A photo shows three 8 mag strings at each power level. The power level strings were checked using the Combro chrono in the photo but I'm too thick to use the PC connecting software to record and print the strings. We lost a location needing a discrete air rifle immediately behind some houses after it became a Site of Special Scientific Interest - which banned shooting there several years ago, it's been basically sat in the cabinet ever since. Periodical checks for seepage showed it needed some seals replacing so did that. Spare seals and the regulator service/adjust tool will come with the rifle along with the original BTAS receipt. If anyone is totally confident of getting an FAC air slot and a coterminous SGC I will hold it for them on receipt of a 50% non returnable deposit until their tickets arrive and the balance is paid. That will be declared here for anyone in this sales section to witness. The WTC 4x40ish scope got re-parallax'd to air ranges by removing the objective lens ring (which got lost) and using a table knife slipped into two focus lens carrier slots and rotate the lens as needed. How to re-parallax a scope Scopes, without PA adjustment, are generally supplied by the manufacturers with the parallax set to 100 yards (50 yards in the case of some rimfire scopes). This is too far for typical airgun use. Ideally for hunting parallax should be about 30 ~ 35 yards. Shorter still for hunter field target shooting around 25 yards being ideal. Fortunately for us most scopes are easy to re-parallax. Here’s how to do it… First set out a target at the desired parallax range. Then remove the end ring on the object lens of the scope. Most will loosen with a firm hand grip, you may have to use a strap tool to loosen the very tight ones. After removing the end ring you will find a threaded inner tube carrying the end lens of the scope. Some can be rotated with finger pressure others will need a flat blade across the two slots in the threaded tube to turn it. I find a steel rule ideal. Now unscrew the threaded lens carrier (moving the lens further out) to reduce the parallax distance. Unscrew slowly till the target, you previously laid out, comes into sharp focus. Fortunately for us the point of minimum parallax error is also coincidence with the sharpest focus at that range. That’s it, you have re-parallaxed your scope.

  11. More to it than I realised then - thanks.
